piracy is way more convinient, especially with apps like CloudStream.
Or transmission/qbittorrent + rss + jellyfin + findroid for a self hosted alternative.
Most evenings, I find myself stuck in this phase, during which time I am likely to cycle through something resembling the five stages of grief. There’s Denial (I swear I had a Paramount+ account); Anger (I cannot believe I have to pay for Paramount+); Bargaining (I promise I will cancel my subscription after the one-week Paramount+ trial period ends); Depression (I cannot believe I didn’t remember to cancel Paramount+ after the trial period ended); and Acceptance (Let’s just head to Netflix and watch Suits).
Do people not realize you can cancel your subscription immediately after registering. The cancelation just stops the automatic monthly renewal. No one wants to deal with the hassle of pro rating and refunding partial used monthly subscriptions, so cancelling renewal is all it does.
I got 3 months free paramount and I canceled the subscription, and it expired in a week instead of 3 months. Its such bullshit.

I’m sorry, but I really don’t get it… the bigger question is and always has been where can I watch it.
It was a bit easier during the beginning of the streaming era, but never that easy, especially in Europe…
I need a stupid app (JustWatch) to tell me where I can watch a movie or show… so how is it easy to watch? It’s also not easy if I need 4+ streaming services…

It's always been, what should i watch. There just used to be the caveat of how.
Just let me have my Stremio, and I'm a content man
After just a few times of trying to watch something and not knowing which or if it was on any of my services I went straight back to the places I know will have exactly what I'm looking for in a couple clicks. Things have only gotten worse since then with the explosion of the number of streaming services.
I still use my DVD/Blu-ray by mail subscription from Netflix. Practically everything was available that way. I will be canceling Netflix for a while after that goes away at the end if the month. I plan to just rotate through which services I subscribe to.
